Amcor launches metal-free barrier recyclable packaging
Date:2019-05-04
AmLite Ultra Recyclable is the latest addition to Amcor’s successful AmLite product line, which was first created in 2015 to provide metal-free barrier packaging designed to significantly reduced the packaging’s carbon footprint.
 

AmLite Ultra Recyclable will allow Amcor’s customers to move to recyclable flexible packaging across a variety of consumer-product segments, including coffee, snacks, dry pet food, baby nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and home and personal care.

 
This will be a major shift for brands, as previously, high-barrier flexible packaging was difficult to recycle.
 
To overcome this, Amcor’s R&D team innovated to replace the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer of the original AmLite packaging with its high-barrier OPP film.
 
Amcor said its AmLite packs achieve a reduced carbon footprint by using an ultra-thin, transparent barrier coating to replace aluminum and metallized barriers. That change, combined with recyclability, can reduce a pack’s carbon footprint by up to 64%.
 
It can package a range of food, home and personal care, and pharmaceutical products, and be recycled in existing polyolefin recycling streams.
 
AmLite can be used for a variety of formats, such as pillow pouches, stand-up and spouted pouches; bags; lidding for trays and containers and stick packs.
 
This new generation of AmLite is part of the drive towards Amcor’s pledge to develop all its packaging to be recyclable or reusable by 2025.
 
Luca Zerbini, vice president of marketing, innovation, and sustainability at Amcor, said: “Our recyclable laminate delivers high-barrier protection, can be used on our customers’ filling machines, and can be recycled where polyolefin collection and recycling streams exist.
 
“AmLite Ultra Recyclable will help solve sustainability challenges for consumer goods brands, pharmaceutical companies and retailers, and help keep plastics out of the environment.”
